“…Ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) photodetectors (PDs) are the backbone of modern optoelectronic devices, which convert light energy into an electrical signal. UV–vis PDs are essential for wide-spectrum detection and optical communication, biomedical imaging, military defense systems, and flame detection. − Conventionally, PDs depend on an external power supply, which limits their application in reality. − In this context, self-powered UV–vis broadband PDs are drawing huge attention in the research field due to their wide range of self-powered detection, lower energy consumption, and easy integrability into optoelectronic devices. − However, most of the developed self-powered PDs are opaque in the visible light, which deters their wide application in daily life. To overcome this problem, the fabrication of self-powered transparent PDs (TPDs) is necessary, which are also essential for see-through optoelectronic devices. − …”
